10 Handmade Card Ideas to Say “I Love You”

It’s the most wonderful time of the month!

November 5, 2015      Nichole Heady      45 Comments

If this is your first time stopping by for a visit, you may be wondering exactly what you have stumbled upon.  I am one of the co-owners of Papertrey Ink, a stamp company featuring quality photopolymer stamps with a simple style and endless possibilities. 

*We release new product on the 15th of every month.

*Beginning on the 5th, I will be showcasing just a little sneak peek of what's in store for the month.  These sneak peeks will be posted at 7am EST each morning from the 5th through the 9th.

*Beginning on the 10th, I begin my traditional "countdown" here on my blog.  Countdown posts will go live at 7am EST every morning from the 10th through the 14th.  In these countdown posts, I will be featuring products that will be released on the 15th with projects, examples and tutorials.  

*If you see a new product you like during the countdown, please keep in mind that it will not be available for purchase until the 15th.

NOVEMBER RELEASE WINNERS

*Beginning on November 10th, each day of the countdown we will be giving away a $75 Papertrey Ink gift certificate.  You can check-out THIS PAGE each day, beginning the morning of the 11th, to see if you are a winner!

*The countdown commences with release day on the 15th.  At 7am EST on the 15th of each month a "reveal" post showcasing the full-reveal of all of the products for the month will go live.  There will also be a "Release in Review" post showcasing all of my favorite projects from the design team for the current release, while linking to each of their individual blogs that will be featuring all of their new release projects.  

*The release party will also begin at 7am EST on the morning of the 15th in our forum.  The day will feature lots of stamping friends chatting about the newest release. A release party contest that will go live on my blog at 7am EST will add to the fun.  The contest will be open for entries until 9:30pm EST and the winner will be announced shortly before the release at 10pm EST.

*The excitement concludes at 10pm EST the night of the 15th when the new product goes live in our store and is available for sale.

Enjoy the countdown!  All of us at Papertrey Ink hope you enjoy the week!
